Module 3: Applications of the Derivative

Lesson 5: Derivatives of Higher Order

Learning Outcomes:
1. Understand concept of derivatives towards different applications.
2. Knows how to solve higher order derivatives.
3. Evaluate simple and complex and higher order derivatives.

Time Frame: Maximum of 1 hour.

Introduction:
How are you class? Welcome to your third course module. For this module we will
focusing about higher order derivatives.
You can use internet to search and watch tutorial lessons regarding the lesson, aside from
given discussion and information found from this module. I would like you to focus or pay
attention of this lesson because plenty of questions that are related to this topic will be possibly
given in board examinations especially in engineering mathematics subjects. You will be given
to accomplish this lesson within one week.

Activity:
Make used of the internet, search information about plane areas bounded by certain
curves.
Analysis:
After going through the internet sources and reading of the suggested reference, you may
answer the following questions:
1. What is the meaning of higher order derivatives?
2. How can you used higher order derivatives towards different applications.
3. How can you evaluate higher order derivatives?

Abstraction:
Applications:
You may use separate short bond paper to perform this part. Please insert a border, inside the
border indicate your Name, Year and Section, Subject, and Instructor: (Engr. Aldrin A.
Bacalso), Module No. and Title, and also its Lesson No. and Title. Please write your solutions
legibly below and box your final Answer. After that please take a clear picture of your output
and send to our LMS/Google-Classroom, and do not forget of having a Subject:
